Looking at Hongluan and Luo Ze suddenly appearing, Ye Yu's heart sank.
His mind raced quickly.
When did they come over? How long?
I didn't discuss anything sensitive with Wei Aoshu just now, did I?
Hongluan chuckled lightly, "Tsk tsk, what's with that expression? Could it be that your secrets have been exposed and you don't know how to explain? Why not have a drink to calm your nerves?"
With that, she handed over the wine gourd in her hand.
Removing the stopper, a strong aroma of wine mingled with a floral fragrance wafted over.
Ye Yu instantly felt the spiritual energy all over his body being stirred up.
It was evident that the wine in this gourd was no ordinary drink.
Ye Yu was just about to reach out to take it, but Hongluan swiftly pulled the wine gourd back.
"If you don't want to drink, then forget it."
Ye Yu was immediately speechless.
Master, why are you like this?
Luo Ze cleared his throat.
Softly, he said, "Senior Sister, may I have a few words alone with this junior?"
Hongluan said, "Did I stop you from talking?"
Hearing her sarcastic tone, Ye Yu instantly felt much better.
Indeed, master is the master. Not even holding back in front of the Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect. If she wants to be sarcastic, she will be.
This balanced his mood considerably.
Luo Ze shook his head helplessly.
Then he waved his sleeve, leading Ye Yu into the clouds.
Seeing this, Ye Yu was very puzzled.
He didn't understand what the Sect Master wanted to do.
"I heard that you recently joined Senior Sister Hongluan's tutelage and she holds you in high regard. But there are some things you may not fully understand. The Senior Sister's way of doing things is... unconventional. You'll adapt to it slowly. I didn't call you here for anything else, just to caution you. Make sure to keep that technique safe, understand?"
Luo Ze's expression was incredibly serious.
He then proceeded to explain the origins of the Qinglian Thunder Sword Art.
In the beginning, the True Qinglian Thunder Sword Art and the Qinglian Thunder Sword Art were one and the same.
Founded by the first Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect, he made a great name for himself in the cultivation world with this technique.
Later, he established the Azure Cloud Sect.
However, the True Qinglian Thunder Sword Art was extremely demanding and difficult. It couldn't be passed down smoothly.
Therefore, the first Sect Master simplified many aspects of this technique based on its foundation.
He created the Qinglian Thunder Sword Art.
Even so, the Qinglian Thunder Sword Art remained powerful and demanding.
Over time, the True Qinglian Thunder Sword Art was forgotten by many due to its high difficulty.
Meanwhile, the Qinglian Thunder Sword Art successfully spread and became the cornerstone of Azure Cloud Sect's founding.
After hearing Luo Ze's story, Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.
He muttered softly, "Actually, it doesn't seem that difficult, does it?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ze covered his chest with one hand, his expression pained.
A thousand years ago, Senior Sister Hongluan also said the same thing.
This brief sentence truly brought a lot of sadness.
Despite Luo Ze being the Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sect, he still hadn't mastered the Qinglian Thunder Sword Art to its highest level.
As for the True Qinglian Thunder Sword Art, he didn't dare to even think about it.
His own master had once bluntly said, "Luo Ze, your aptitude isn't high enough. You won't be able to use the True Qinglian Thunder Sword Art. Let Senior Sister hold onto it for now."
Initially, Luo Ze thought that day was the most painful of his life.
But he hadn't expected to be reminded of it again today by Hongluan's disciple.
This feeling was too uncomfortable!
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Luo Ze tried to regain his composure and said again, "Regardless of what you think, the True Qinglian Thunder Sword Art is the ultimate treasure of Azure Cloud Sect. It's unique! Since your master entrusted it to you, you must store it carefully and never pass it on to anyone else, understand?"
Ye Yu nodded in agreement.
Luo Ze waved his sleeve, sending Ye Yu back to Hongluan's side.
He himself transformed into a streak of light and returned to the main hall.
Today was another day of wounds for him!
Ye Yu returned to his original spot once again.
Watching Hongluan still drinking, he couldn't help but feel a bit moved.
Master looks so unreliable on the surface, but when it comes to taking action, she freely gives him the top-level technique of the Azure Cloud Sect.
"Kid, I gave you the technique only yesterday. And you can already use it today."
"You're quite impressive!"
Hongluan turned slightly, her tone no longer as enthusiastic as before.
Ye Yu felt a bit flustered.
Oops, I forgot about this.
However, Ye Yu didn't let his panic show.
Instead, he pretended to be calm and said, "Master, you're joking. Maybe it's because I have a higher natural talent."
"Don't talk nonsense. Your aptitude can be described as surprisingly bad. Without my guidance, can you display the Qinglian Thunder Sword Art so quickly?"
"It's simply a dream!"
Hongluan's figure suddenly flashed, appearing in front of Ye Yu.
Her eyes, originally blurred from drinking, became extremely sharp.
And at this moment, Ye Yu truly panicked.
For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
But unexpectedly, after staring at Ye Yu for a long time, Hongluan suddenly smiled.
"Forget it, the world is vast, and there are all kinds of wonders. Everyone has secrets, if you don't want to say, I won't ask more."
"As long as you have loyalty to the Azure Cloud Sect, it's fine."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He said earnestly, "Thank you for understanding, Master. I swear, as long as I am in the Azure Cloud Sect under your guidance, I will never do anything to betray the sect!"
Although Ye Yu didn't know why Hongluan suddenly stopped probing into this issue, for him, it was definitely a huge relief.
Otherwise, he really didn't know how to give a reasonable explanation.
Hongluan raised an eyebrow slightly, and said, "So, you're just planning to thank me with words?"
"What do you mean, Master?"
Ye Yu was puzzled.
But the next moment, he felt an extreme lack of oxygen.
Hongluan held Ye Yu in her arms with one hand. She said in a deep voice, "Disciple, I lost a night at Tai Xuan Peak yesterday. If you really want to thank me, come with me and conquer all four corners."
"Retrieve everything I lost."
"Do you have the confidence?"
"Mmmph!"
Ye Yu could hardly speak.
At this moment, he truly understood what it meant to have a broad mind and a deep heart.
It truly carried weight.
At the same time, he also understood why Luo Ze described Hongluan as "unconventional".
Master's thinking was indeed too eccentric!
...
Night fell.
Inside Guiyuan Sect.
Yun Wuci never imagined, that Bu Lingfei would come looking for her.
Seeing this person before her, identical in appearance to her dream, and with the same name, Yun Wuci's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
It wasn't just unbelievable for her.
Bu Lingfei found it even more miraculous.
After waking up from her dream state, her first instinct was to come to the Guiyuan Sect.
She wanted to see if this place was really like the one in her dreams.
Unexpectedly, just as she arrived here, she bumped into Yun Wuci head-on.
